Yesterday afternoon WWE sent out a message to their subscribers of their Mobile Alert system stating that Kurt Angle has issued an “open challenge for One Night Stand to anyone from any brand”.
The message then goes on to say that he doesn’t care if the person is from a "4-sided, 6-sided, or 8-sided ring”.
The Challenge was initially made on SmackDown!
The WWE owned "brands" of Smackdown, RAW, and ECW all use 4-sided rings. TNA uses a 6-sided ring, and UFC uses an 8-sided caged ring.
Very interesting, isn't it. WWE has previously talked to Jeff Hardy about a possible return. It would be a great comeback for Jeff if he returned at ECW to face Kurt Angle in his open invitational. I'll post more as it becomes available.
ECW representative Paul Heyman told a worldwide audience Friday night that World Champion Rey Mysterio has accepted a challenge and will put his title on the line June 11th at ECW One Night Stand against Sabu! Heyman, joining Michael Cole and Tazz on commentary for new ECW Superstar Kurt Angle’s farewell match on SmackDown, said Sabu made the challenge and Mysterio said “let’s get it on”.
This match will mark the first time the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death-defying Sabu will meet Rey Mysterio. It will be a match of similar high-flying styles, but many believe Sabu’s violent, do anything to win mentality could give him the edge. Mysterio, however, has the heart of a champion and will not go down without a fight!
The WWE Championship is also on the line at One Night Stand with John Cena defending against one of ECW’s newest acquisitions Rob Van Dam. The contract signing for that match will take place Monday night on RAW. Heyman predicts one, if not both titles, will change hands at One Night Stand. If they do Heyman claims they will be re-named the ECW world titles!
Also on SmackDown, Heyman announced that Kurt Angle has issued an open-challenge for One Night Stand. Angle will meet anyone from any brand in a one-on-one match. Heyman told Cole during commentary “Angle means anyone, from anywhere! He doesn’t care if the person’s from a four-sided ring, a six-sided ring or an eight-sided ring. Read into it Cole!”
ECW One Night Stand comes to you live from New York City Sunday Night June 11th on PPV.
This ppv sounds like it is going to be even better then last years. It's the launching of the new ECW and i really wish i could see it. I'm very excited to see who kurt angle will face and I'm praying that it's jeff hardy. I've had an ongoing argument with my cousin since Jeff Hardy left that he would be back in the wwe and so far i'm losing pretty badly. So i'm definitely hoping it's him.
sadly Jeff won'tbe our guy Ashley. It's gonna be a great return match for Orton. It'll definitely put him back in the limelight but I think Batista would have been far more deserving of that match. Too bad he couldn't be back in time for one night stand.
yea i'm a little sad that it isn't jeff but i'm excited that orton is back. I don't know what i would do if he were gone for good. I just hope jeff ends up returning somewhere whether it's ecw, wwe, or tna soon.
